We had a super nice stay in this very special property.

It was very comfortable and lovely to come back to after a day's walking. Thank you.

The cottage was very clean and nicely furnished, with a well stocked kitchen.

We had a comfortable stay and appreciated the handy location. Whitby is a lovely place for a holiday and our accommodation was ideal, our children also liked their attic room. Thank you for providing a thoughtful welcome basket.

The location is ideal - central enough that it's easy to pop back during the day if needed but also tucked away so very peaceful.

The cottage itself is very well equipped - there's a good selection of crockery, utensils, saucepans in the kitchen along with a dishwasher and washing machine and a fan in each bedroom. There are no blinds/curtains on the kitchen window but as it's at the back of the property that wasn't an issue. The lounge window looks out on to a walkway that whilst relatively quiet still gets foot traffic but we just closed the curtains for privacy. Pro's: * Central location but tucked away * Well equipped * Immaculately clean * Welcome basket * Living room stays cool in hot weather * Big bathroom with separate shower and bathtub * Smart TV in lounge and both bedrooms with Netflix/now TV/Disney plus etc * Contact for property was responsive, friendly and helpful Con's * Would have loved a firmer pillow but that's my personal preference This was a lovely little cottage and I would not hesitate to stay here again
